Yöneticilerin Olumlu ve Olumsuz Mizah Kullanımı ile Çalışan Tutumları Arasındaki İlişki

Öz Bu çalışmanın amacı, yöneticilerin olumlu ve olumsuz mizah kullanımı ile çalışanların çeşitli iş tutumları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirleyebilmektir. Bu çerçevede olumlu ve olumsuz mizah kullanımı ile iş tatmini, duygusal bağlılık ve lider-üye etkileşimi arasındaki ilişkiler araştırılmaktadır. Analizlerde kullanılan veri, Karabük Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü’nde öğrenim gören ve bir özel veya kamu kurumunda çalışmakta olan 325 lisansüstü öğrencisinden anket yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Araştırma hipotezleri hiyerarşik regresyon analizi ile test edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucunda, yöneticilerin hem olumlu hem de olumsuz mizah kullanımının çalışan tutumlarını etkilediği, fakat olumsuz mizah kullanımının daha güçlü bir etkiye sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir.
